A good book about being true to yourself. A mislabeled crayon tries to fit in. What I loved was how none of the other crayons seemed able to see what was right in front of their eyes - that regardless of everything that was tried, Red colored blue. I think there are children that will definitely see themselves in this book - and more importantly will see those who are different around them and accept them for who they ARE, not as they should be. This book has a lot of applications - be it regarding neurodiversity, physical difficulty, or a host of other topics. This is one I definitely am sharing with my children, and hope to have a good conversation about afterwards.

Note: Just read this again, six years later, and now with the understanding of having a trans child. I really am glad for this book, and for the discussion it led to today about how well it's written and how good it makes my child feel that there are books like this in the world. Well don, Michael Hall
